Expression of the ectoenzyme RT6 is not restricted to resting peripheral T cells and is differently regulated in normal peripheral T cells, intestinal IEL, and NK cells.

Abstract excerpt

The RT6 alloantigenic system of the rat has originally been defined on T lymphocytes of the peripheral lymphatic organs and has been considered to be selectively expressed on mature peripheral T cells. Studying NK cells and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), we have now found that both cell types also express RT6 and that the expression patterns found for IEL and NK cells were markedly different from...
